Our Approach

Our Mission

We are devoted to dance, a unique art form, which promotes creative expression and embodies dramatic sensibilities. Dance has no boundaries with regard to culture, race, sex, or social status and, therefore, is accessible to all.

Koltun Ballet Boston offers a Childrens Program (age 3-8) and Pre-professional ballet training (age 9-19) in the Greater Boston Area to dedicated talented young people in an inspirational environment. We aim to provide students with a rich knowledge of classical technique and the ability to adapt to all styles and techniques of dance. With a hands-on approach and individual attention we are dedicating ourselves to our students and helping them to discover the wonderful world of dance. Our high caliber professional training will give you the skills to succeed in a very competitive field!

Our beloved teachers have been a major source of inspiration over the years. Passing on traditions that we have first experienced and worked personally with such renowned figures as Legendary Natalia Dudinskaia; Irina Kolpakova, last student of Vaganova who was a Star of the Kirov Ballet — presently coaching principal dancers at ABT; Legendary Sergei Berejnoi, Star of the Kirov Ballet and former coach at The Boston Ballet; Tatiana Terekhova, a Ballet Star of the Kirov and outstanding coach at Mariinsky Ballet now; and Boris Akimov, a former Artistic Director of The Bolshoi Ballet and a long time coach.

We hope to continue those traditions and play a major role in the lives and successful careers of our students. We envision an academy where young students are trained to perform both the classical and modern repertory under the guidance of the best ballet teachers today!
